I love the idea of helping fellow authors to meet others in the #writingcommunity so I want to try this:
If you have less than 1000 followers, say hi below.
If you have more than 1000 followers, retweet this post and follow someone new below! ๐ค

100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars.
Today, everyone has a car and only the rich own horses.
Oh, how the stables have turned.

I need a t-shirt that says "I'm not antisocial, I'm WRITING." Although, come to think of it, I'm also antisocial so never mind.

(This is me saying, a bit oddly, that it would be great if you or anyone you know bought a copy.)

Every year, millions of books go unfinished. Books that could have helped people, brought beauty or wisdom into the world. But they never came to be. And in one way or another, the reason is always the same: the author quit. Don't give up! #amwriting

It may not be worth repeating but I'm trying to create a client base, for editing services. I know they are a dime a dozen, on here, and external factors may be unfavorable, but this will help me gain some financial stability. So, help?

Symptoms of Writer-itus:
1. Compulsion to buy all notebooks & pens ever made
2. Caffeine addiction
3. Mood swings between delusions of grandeur & imposter syndrome
4. Dwindling ability to distinguish between fantasy & reality
5. Panic attacks if unable to make notes

Me too :)
Issues we struggle with are paralyzing and universal.
When we touch upon the center of our sorrow or pain, we find the threshold that can transport us out of our confusion and emotional captivity. (excerpt Portals)
Translates to healing for a readers' paralysis too๐
